Also, unless you are using MIUI, you don't even need to change the layout. I keep 220/16/200 for ICS/Sense/CM7 with no issues--
ok but everytime i open blackrose its says cannot find files and quickly say hboot it corrupted and the phone boots but just stays at the nexus logoYou don't need to uninstall Blackrose to use Gingerbread ROMs. Just repartition your layout and flash via fastboot the customized partition.
i can boot into bootloader and i think i do i dl all the sdk files and stuff.but when i click recovery it boots into fastboot thingcan you boot into bootloader then recovery---hold down pwr and trackball at same time
also do you use sdk to use fastboot commands?

Did you try to do adb devices and fastboot devices to see it recognizes your phone? If not, that means you have not installed ADB or fastboot. Download Android SDK and then install and set the environment for it to work and then try to do the blackrose again.
Iguess i have it all installed it recognizes the phone.Did you try to do adb devices and fastboot devices to see it recognizes your phone? If not, that means you have not installed ADB or fastboot.

well here is an sdk link and adb info
http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/
i have tools not platform-tools depends on sdk version
my path is C:/ android/android-sdk-windows/tools yours may vary
so at command window when you first open it i type
cd/
cd android/android-sdk-windows/tools
then i type adb devices with phone just plugged in and not in fastboot, right after tools, not on a new line
or fastboot devices if phone is booted into fastboot bootloader
anyway to use adb you just plug phone into computer with usb debugging selected on phone, do not be booted into fastboot
to use fastboot you must be booted into fastboot mode--pwr and trackball pressed at same time and you are in fastboot
can you type fastboot devices while booted into fastboot mode and tell us what comes up on screen
if you are to that point you may need to fastboot a new hboot to get adb working
take the first two files and put them in your tools folder or wherever your fastboot.exe file is. you have to cd to that directory in command window first, then fastboot devices to make sure phone is recognized
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28338566/go2.lol
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28338566/hboot_blackrose.nb0
the go2.lol is BR dated 12/31/2011
after fastboot devices type:
Type fastboot boot go2.lol
Type fastboot flash hboot hboot_blackrose.nb0
Type fastboot reboot-bootloader to see if you have new hboot
it will be stock partition sizes 145/96/xxx
to change to ICS table size you dl below link to get hexeditor and use it to change to 220/16/200
to do that open the hexeditor and browse to where you have the above hboot_blackrose.nb0. then use the slider to change partition sizes
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28338566/SPLHexEditor_111006.exe
you can rename it hboot_brcust.nb0 to identify it as new hboot
you can always use hexeditor to check hboot file sizes before fastbooting it

i edited above to fastboot reboot-bootloader
yea i have everything good just the hboot password i guess i put on ill just wait till he releases a new version maybe hell put something to help me.i don't know anything about passwords with using fastboot
are you sure you are changing directories correctly to get to the folder with fastboot
thanks for helping efrant, based on screenshots and posts do you think he has sdk setup and drivers installed
once to that point i thought fastbooting a new hboot would resolve the problem on first screenshot--may be wrong
ok i understand now
that problem is talked about in thread. efrant and taodan had some posts
dla5244 mentions it in OP, so maybe a solution, not sure
his latest version in OP 120421 is the one that mentions it
it may have just been posted
maybe you can fastboot the go2.lol and hboot from there from there, don't know
so you can type fastboot devices and see phone now--
No this cant be flashed in recovery. its a custom bootloader which allows you to alter partition sizes of /system, /cache, /datanewbie...
do i need to install this in recovery mode ?
can i install this with locked bootloader ?
thanks
No this cant be flashed in recovery. its a custom bootloader which allows you to alter partition sizes of /system, /cache, /data
yes this can be installed wid locked bootloader.
go thru the videos in the first page and read carefully before applying blackrose.
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk
thanx for clarifying efrant so after installing blackrose, then a. nb0 file can be flashed via recovery in a zip format?Once you have a version of Blackrose already installed on your device, you should be able to package up any subsequent hboot you want to flash in a CWM-flashable format, and you should be able to flash it in recovery.

*.Those who using older version custom BlackRose(eg.111231), Since older version can't communicate with BlackRose installer so you need to follow my direction.
Once you follow my direction, you no need to do this later
1.customize same as previous partition layout using BlackRose editor(view "execute BREditor")
2.fastboot flash hboot hboot_brcust.nb0
3.fastboot reboot
*.If you are using MAC OSX and failed to install by using installer,

FAQ
1.Phone is brick, dosen't turn on screen
You have flashed unsigned RADIO
If you want unbrick your phone, The answer is JTAG or HTC Service Center(The engineer can refuse to repair your phone)
2.Can I lock bootloader again?
To relock the bootloader, You have to achieve radio S-OFF(secu_flag=0), otherwise you would see the error [Lock Failed]
3.How to achieve radio S-OFF?
AT@SIMLOCK=7,0 or AT@SIMLOCK=8,0
I disassembled radio(AMSS)
it need HTC Special SIM-CARD or SIM-EMULATOR(XTC-CLIP)
but...
If we can disable SMI-MPU and modify only one byte to AMSS routine on SDRAM
We can achive Radio S-OFF without HTC-Special-CARD.
4.I can't update radio by using recovery.
If cache partition size less than radio image, you couldn't update radio by using recovery.
so I suggest a way to update radio
fastboot flash radio [RADIO IMAGE(e.g radio.img)]
5.I can't see my device when execute BlackRose installer
If you are using sense rom, adb device isn't worked.
You must install htc sync.

BlackRose custom command
fastboot oem brcmd [command]
svib : Enable/Disable vibration during at boot (Output string is none. but setting will be changed.)
brec : Go to recovery mode
pass [password]: Create encrypted password/Authentication
Change boot logo
1.Prepare 480*800 bmp file to change
2.nbimg.exe -F [BMP FILE] -n
3.rename *.nb file to splash1.img
4.fastboot flash splash1 [SPLASH1 IMG]
Password Protection
1.fastboot oem brcmd pass [ORIGINAL PASSWORD]
2.Note your encrypted value
3.Input encrypted value in BREditor
4.Apply custom BlackRose
NEVER input original password in BREditor
If you would like to unlock protection
fastboot oem brcmd pass [ORIGINAL PASSWORD]
TIP
If lock state, oem pass command work as unlock method
Otherwise, work as create encrypted password
If you type wrong password third in a row, device is turned off
Apply custom BlackRose
*.If you use BlackRose installer method, no need to read
Apply
1.fastboot flash hboot [CUSTOM BLACKROSE BINARY]
2.fastboot reboot-bootloader
If you will change partition layout
1.fastboot flash hboot [CUSTOM BLACKROSE BINARY]
2.fastboot reboot-bootloader
3.fastboot erase cache
4.fastboot oem brcmd brec
5.full wipe
6.update rom
7.reboot
Impressive! A really interesting approach. Even though Radio S-OFF would be preferred a modified hboot that unlocks more commands than the current stock-unlocked hboot does, right?
